Now that Mr.. Gallagher of this county
has taken the lead in the matter of saving
water in this State for irrigating purpooes it
would be we'll for some OF the enterprising
residents Of Carson Valley to take steps in
the SINE direction In that Valley. There is
no doubt but that near the head waters OF
the Carson riveS there are places which with
little expense could be made to store the
surplus water that now goes to waste every
Winter and Spring. Reservoirs could be
built and dams put in that would hold the
water back until such time as it is needed
n the Summer, and then there would prob
ably be water enough to keep all the mills
on the river running the entire season. The
lakes that Mr.. Gallagher has located, are Of
course, natural reservoirs, but there will have
TO be considerai woak done in putting in
dams. ETC., tc '-Sa e the water. 1t
has been estima. sIGt by placing large
dams in these lakes that the water can be
raised ten feet, and Of course -oy building the
oAhis hiShei anu larger anu uolHS more
expensive job the water could be raised If
teen or twenty feet. Considering that the
lakes are from two to three miles long and
from half to three.quarters Of mile wide, it
will be readily seen that to raise the water
in them twenty feet would give the ranchers
quite good supply. It's calculated that
to raise the water about ten feet it would
cost in the neighborhood Of S., 200 and that
by going TO an expense OF S., 1000 or $4,000
it could be raised nearly twenty feet. The
undertaking ii one of considerable impor.
lance and therefore everyone should feel
more or less Interested 10 it, and we believe
it would be a good plan for rhe State tc
make fair. sized approprl alton for the pur.
pose of carrying on the work. There are
certainly other streams in the State besides
the Walker river that could in the same way
be damned and the water held back unit
such time as it is needed. The press o
the State should take the matter up ant
urge that an appropriation be made for THU
purpose, for without irrigation the aggricul
tural interests will never amount to much
while with plenty of water Nevada can b,
made as thrifty and prosperous an aggricul
.pral little State as there is in the Union.

FKLAREE.

Stockmen claim that this grass, which /
just making Its appearance in this State, vii
in few years much enhance the value
land in Nevada on account OF its value as
grazing plant. 1t is said that hlaree grow
in abundance in the southern portion OF Cal
ifornia, and the way that it has got foot
hold in this State is by the seed bring
brought over in the wool OF bands OF sheep
The plant is very handy and is said to gro"
better without irrigation than with it. Mr.
lanes Nichols, Of Mason Valley, and owner
Of the Jew ranch at the upper end Of the Val
ley, says that he has noticed tina, on the bar
rem, sandy and rocky hills, where no water
ever reaches except from natural sources,
the ilaree is gaining quite foot hold; also
that in several other places in the Valley
where the land was supposed to be valueless'
this plant is growing very thriftily. II this
is the case, it will not be many years before
all the barren hills in the State will be OF
great value as stock ranges, for the grass
spreads wonderfully rapidly. 1t is very
hardy grass and it is almost impossible 10
kill it out by any amount Of feeding that
cattle may de. With this view Of the case
il is believed that much more land for cattle
ranges will be taken up in the next few years,
for already Mason Valleys wide-awake
stockmen are beginning to look for land with
a view of taking il up and sowing hlaree
seed upon it. Therefore We repeat the re
mark heard the other evening that at will
not be a great while before Nevada'S sand
hills, and sagebrush plains will be valubls
as well as her fertile valleys"

the difficult point Of the exact date Of the dis
coveiy Of gold in the tail.race of Suffer x
MarshalPs mill. 1t is a record by the only
man present who made an entry in his diary
on the day Of the discovery. H. w. Bigler
was a member of the Mormon Battalion that
was enlisted to aid in the conquest Of Cali
fornia, and came across the plains in Al.
After the disbanding Of the battalion he re-
manned in California, and was employed in
building the famous mill at Coloma. His
diary is of the greatest interest, as well as
of the greatest value historically, and is now
printed for the first time. 1t was copied by
Biger himself and slightly revised in or
biography and syntax by Mr.. John 5. Hit.

A DUTY.

Il is the duty Of every parent in this State
who has children old enough to send away
from home to school, to send them to the
Nevada State University. This institution
IS new vet, but it is already considered one
of the best on the Coast. 1t is conpete1tly
managed, and the best teachers in the country
are employed to ''teach the young idea how
TO shoot" The State is at considerable ex-
pense to keep the institution running, and as
long as the young people can get as good an
education at home as elsewhere, there should
be no reason why home institution should
not be patronized. To-day there are many
people who are sending their boys and girls
away from Nevada to obtain an education al
a great expense, and these boys and girl:
are not learning any more than they would
right at home, unless it be in the way o.
dancing, singing, music, cigarette smoking
and wine drinking. AS an example: Some
weeks ago gentleman Of the old sod, whose
boy is attending military academy in Cali
fornia, CHANGED to be in Dayton on an even

A Great Movement.
AuDIron's OFFICE Henry County. Ohio June stb 1857

According to the STATISTICAL report of the
Sunday schools in the United States rendered
at the late International Convention held in
Chicago, there has been an increase in the
scholar membership of all the Sunday schools
in the q. S. since 1884 of 965,645. 1t is
interesting to know by what agencies this
increase has been secured for it shows that a
great missionary work has been done to
bring an army of S65, 900 into active member
ship with our Sunday schools. No more i'm
portant work can be conceived of, for it has
to do with the destiny of our entire country.
The three last Annual reports of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union, the old undenom-
national Society ''that cares for the child
ren," who are provided for by no one else,
show that since 1884, it has brought 1856, ,034
children into 4.947 new Sunday schools, a
number equal to 5000 more than one half Of
all the increase reported as having been
secured by this and all other agencies during
these three years. But this American Sun
day School Union did more than this-It
aided 4, 1926 other schools, which have 46,774
teachers and 5l5,7l4 schollars,-so that in
these three years it reached 9,S72 communi-
ties and Sunday schools, and zoo, 74S children,
and youth, and then reaided and revisited
these schools 9,245 times, besides making
92,54 visits to families, supplying 45,019
destitute persons with the scriptures and
holding 27,2H religious meetings. That
there is great need for more of just such
work in our country, is evident from the
fact that according to the International
Secretary's report there are but S,034.47S
scholars in all the Sunday schools in the
United States, that report to this convention,
which the chairman of the Executive Com
mittee said was FIVE per cent. too small. II
five per cent. were added, we have S,4S6, ,20l
scholars in all our Sunday schools. But the
statement was made that 20 per ct. should be
deducted for those over p and under six
years of age and those who attend more than
one school and are counted twice; which de-
Quoted would leave 6,74S,961 children and
youth of school age in all our Sunday schools,
while there are at least 9,000,0 more chill
dre9 of that age IN our country, and very
likely most of them attend no Sunday
school.
Truly the American Sunday School Union
is doing great work, for present and future
America, for which there is most urgent
need. Amy who would like to read its last
annual report, or aid its work by gift of
funds may send to

- The story comes from Washington
that Foraker has been sending out secret
circulars to his henchmen in the G. A. R.
posts to 60 to Toledo to the State Convention
prepared to howl for him as the great and
only bloody shirt topper. The story is pro.
badly correct, such performance would be
characteristic of Foraker. He has an insane
idea that his paroxysm about the rebel flags
will make him vice-p presidential candidate;

- There is some talk in the papers in
regard to getting up great national celebra-
ton in 1892 in honor of the 210th annivers-
ary of the discovery of America by Columbus.
The fact is Columbus never discovered nor
never saw North America. We believe he
did see some point in South America, and
then some of his friends came over and rob-
bed the natives of their last nickle. 1t is not
definitely known who did discover North
America, though it is generally believed it
was one of the lost tribes of Israel. 1t is
known for a fact, however, that a bold Ice
landic navigator by the name Of Erikson, or
'Eric the Red" as he was formiliarly called,
